Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Tempeste Visit Aunt Kizzy

~ John W. Howell

“Here we are at Kizzy’s house.”

“Oh boy, it has been a while.”

How about you, Tempest? Ready to see Kizzy?”

“”Yeah, I can’t wait to jump on that big ole  horse.”

“Okay, kids It’s time to play. Inside or out?”

“You have to be kidding.  Inside, of course. It’s 10,000 degrees out here.”

“Hey Tempeste have I ever shown you my lion imitation?”

“No, Kizzy, I don’t think so.”

“Check it out. Grouffffff.”

“You have some serious teeth in there.”

“Twiggy why are you so quiet.”

“Well, for one, I’m a little nervous around lions, and I think you have it.”

“Aw, you know the saying. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I think I knocked her out”

“Just be careful down there. Lions know how to play possum.”

Whoa, you are right. This one just attacked.”

“You are all mine now, you panther pipsqueak.”

“Twiggy, are you going to help your sister?”

“In a word Dad. Nope.”

“That’s okay, Dad. I got this.”

“Sure you do, ersatz panther. You have a first-course booking on the lion menu.”

“Who you calling ersatz? Come on, big stuff. You want a piece of me?”

“I’ve changed my mind. I think you will be dessert.”

“So Tempeste. After you take care of that lion, I think there is a treat waiting.”

“Yeah, hold on. I’m starting my Panther stalk right now.”

“Well, girls. Did you have fun?”

“We certainly did. Aunt Kizzy is so much fun.”

“How about you, Kizzy?”

“I love it when these guys come to visit.”

“Well, see you next week. Bye now.”

  8. “In a word, Dad… nope.” Twiggy’s prudence and Tempeste’s naiveté always result in humorous antics. And the desperate attention of all three at the promise of treats? How well I know that look. Thanks for the smiles, John. Belly rubs to the puplings. (Including Kizzy on the next visit.)

  14. That is so much fun. And having seen dogs at play, at times it can look so ferocious, even if we know there is no danger. Kizzy is quite the lion (albeit a skinny one 😉 )

  20. This was so much fun. The photos are priceless. Love the whole lion scenario and how great they play together without fear of being shorter and stouter than Kizzy. It’s as if they don’t even notice.

    Glad Tempeste is all healed.

  22. It’s great that they all play together without anybody getting hurt, especially considering the size differences. Thanks, John, for letting us be flies-on-the-wall to enjoy the spectacle!

  32. Oh My! Twiggy, that opening shot of you could sell a million bags of kibble. You sure seem like one happy car dog.

    How was Tempeste in the car? She seems to think she’s bigger than she is though, I mean with lion handling and all.

    All in all a fab outing. Will you be going back soon?

    Say hi to dad for me!

    1. Kizzy will be coming to our house next. We switch every other week. Tempeste loves the car. She sits in her seat and looks around like a big dog. Dad says “Hi” back. 🐖 🐖 OX OX
